Some folks use a can of hair spray as a propellant however it makes things sticky inside. Best to use Gillette spray deodorant in a Copper color can. Can also use Carburetor spray cleaner or Ether starting fluid, but the Gillette seems to be best as it is a combination of several propellants.

Drew, My kids made one of these around last Thanksgiving...they have tried several accelerants, propellants what ever you call them. If you search back to around that time, you can see the picture of it but I guess I don't have it anymore on my computer. Now they are attaching rockets to old Pinewood Derby cars and launching them on my lawn. What is it with guys and explosives?

I don't know, but I have a whole closet full of stuff that goes "Boom" .
Guys like to blow things up.
If all I do was could sit in my hot tub with a naked woman, drink beer all day and blow things up while watching football my life would be complete and the picture of perfection. Nirvana. ;D
/yea, I'm a complicated guy. ;)

Coincidently I just got this email from my friend who gave me the potato gun plans. Here is what happened to him when he used a gun somebody else made.
Yesterday was at a picnic and they were shooting their own potato gun.
Doing a fine job of launching down range. I shot one and picked the wrong
time. Made the shot and the rear plug shattered where the ignition system
is attached. it went backwards with the same force and the potato in the
other direction. When it happened I could feel my hand stinging and almost
afraid to look as there were pieces of pvc on the deck. I suspected a
missing or bloody finger. Got away with all fingers and a burn on one with
a large blister. Just lucky.
If you make that thing, please.....
